a little free time

Now that the faire is over I have all the time in the world. Well, I do but I'm not using it wisely.

Instead of cleaning my house and stocking my Etsy shop with items that are piling up in boxes in the baby's room, I've been lounging around on the sofa, cruising Pinterest and playing Sims 3 for hours every day. It feels soooooo good to do nothing.

Oh, and I started on my first novel in about eight years. It's under the temporary title of Coffee & Bacon and I have no idea what it's about just yet. That's how I write. I just start writing and see where it goes.

That's pretty much how I live my life really.

I'll be "faire free" until the middle of next year so I've decided that I need to use this free time to work on my family's Halloween costumes, write a bit, start belly dancing again, work on my Etsy shop and continue to unpack from our move two effin' months ago.

Speaking of belly dancing... lemme tell you a funny little story:

A few years ago I worked at a bank and the topic of belly dancing came up between me and a customer.

ME: I'm trying to grow my hair out so I'll look more authentic as a belly dancer. Many belly dancers have very long hair and I wanna look like that.LADY: Oh, you're a belly dancer?ME: Yeah.LADY: (leans in close and whispers) So do you go the the men's houses or do you meet them at a hotel?ME: (long awkward pause) Um, I'm not that kind of dancer...

about me.

Hello! I'm Hollie. I'm a 32 year old social media manager . I like cheesy historical fiction romance novels, belly dancing, Pinterest surfing, world music, dressing up in costumes, dreaming and food.... and dreaming of food. I'm married to an intellectual redneck and we live in an East Texas trailer park with our wacky little boy, River and our baby girl, Cedar. Things get weird around here and I'm gonna tell you all about it. Check out my other blawg here >> http://www.quirkybohemianmama.com/
